This Sunday May 10th, we will not have the 11:30 AM mass. With the First Communion Mass at 2:00 PM on Saturday, we should be able to accommodate everyone at the 10:00 AM Mass on Sunday. The scaffolding will be starting to come down next week, therefore, the Ascension Thursday mass obligation will be moved to next weekend as it is done in many diocese throughout the United States. Prayers and blessings to all of our grandmothers, mothers, aunts and sisters this Mother's Day.
On behalf of Deacon Patrick, Jackie, Craig, Mary, Mary Lou, and Shelly, I wish you and your family a joy-filled and hope-filled Easter. May Jesus, who overcame death and conquered every fear help us to live each day remembering that He is alive; that He is bigger than anything or any situation; and that his power is real.
The Resurrection may be the hardest thing for people to accept about Christianity. Some agnostics embrace Jesus as a compassionate sage. Seekers, if they're closer to belief, might even accept Jesus as a miracle worker?healing the sick, stilling storms, feeding crowds and the like. But rising from the dead? Well, that can be, to use a Gospel term, a stumbling block.
For each of us, too, there is a "Galilee" at the origin of our journey with Jesus. "To go to Galilee" means something beautiful, it means rediscovering our baptism as a living fountainhead, drawing new energy from the sources of our faith and our Christian experience.
We wish to congratulate Jennifer and share the good news of her upcoming reception into the full communion in the Catholic Church. Jen will receive the Sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation at the Easter Vigil this week.
